Stances In Research Paper

In “Materiality and Genre in the Study of Discourse Communities,” authors Amy Devitt, Anis Bawarshi, and Mary Reiff discuss genre in discourse communities. The article is pretty much broken into three different parts with each author writing about another genre. Amy Devitt discusses jury instruction which basically just means that she wrote about how jurors are not able to grasp the genre of jury instruction like lawyers are able to which means they are not able to make a good verdict for defendants. Anis Bawarshi discusses the medical field and the language there. He said that only people familiar with medicine relate and honestly understand what is going on when people talk about medicine. Then lastly, Mary Reiff talked about ethnography

I prefer to express myself in my writing, although it’s not always easy. We all want to be good writers, but it can be difficult to become a good writer. We don’t grow from things that are easy, we grow as writers when things become difficult and challenging to the mind and the hands of a writer. For an example, when I was writing for the visual rhetorical analysis of a documentary it was difficult writing about the documentaries ethos, pathos, and logos. (Question 2.) At the beginning of my essay I wrote in my thesis that the author of the documentary Fed Up lacked in giving the audience logos, but had persuaded their audience with pathos and ethos, “Fed up has certainly persuaded its audience through the use of ethos and pathos; although

Literary works have become one of the most preferred ways for people to express themselves and voice their concerns and opinions on societal issues. Through such pieces of work, authors are able to educate and critique the society at large, often forcing people to reconsider their views on certain matters. This has an overall effect of pushing them to reconsider the effect of their actions and errors as regards the issues in question. For others, writing about real life situations is most effective in communicating with their readers. Victims of racial discrimination may opt to put their ordeals down in black and white, mush the same way those who find themselves at the receiving end of sexual harassment may choose to write about their experiences. Arguably, the effect achieved is greater, in opposition to that of works of fiction. Even where a book is fictitious, more insight and connection to real life is achieved if the story is built around real life events and situations. Nancy Mairs does excellent in expressing herself through her spiritual autobiography; Waist-High in the World.

The current interest in what has come to be called "multicultural" literature has focused critical attention on defining its most salient characteristic: authoring a text which appeals to at least two different cultural codes. (Wiget 258)

Many authors, in both general literature and Black artists alike have many questions when crafting their arguments and stories. Why am I writing this? What am I hoping to accomplish from writing? And most importantly, Who am I writing for? When it comes down to who a writer’s intended audience is, it comes across as one of the most vital questions one can ask. With audience choice comes a plethora of other choice. What medium should I use to make

It is not very often that one stops to pay attention at the many ways we encounter rhetoric in our daily lives. It is used in most forms of communications and it is ultimately the way people things get done. Rhetoric is the form in which people influence or persuade one another and it can be found everywhere from television ads to Facebook posts. I have chosen to analyze my personal writing to examine how my rhetorical choices change when I am writing across different platforms such as e-mail, class papers and a class review post? From my analysis, I have found that my writing style changes to adapt to the purpose and audience of the writing across the different platforms.

Do you have trouble switching your choice of words to appeal to different audiences? Then Dr. Kinkade’s Writing in Various Settings class (RWS-305W) is the right course for you! One of the goals in the RWS-305W course is to help students identify, analyze, and respond in writing to different rhetorical situations. Knowing how to respond to certain people is an extremely important skill in life because most people will encounter a situation in which they must speak to an audience. Whether it be when applying for a new job or presenting a report to fellow coworkers while working a job, it is important to know how to present the same information various audiences. To do this, different words must be used to draw interest in from different people. In this paper I will explore three different assignments that were due throughout the semester that allowed the goal mentioned above to be met.

Unit 8 Essay When reading various amounts of works by other people you will experience different types and genres of writings. When you read different genres of, it may change your point of view (POV). Even reading the same story in a different genre it may change your POV. POVs and genres change how you interpret things through trifles, POV standpoints, and mood of genres.

(Bracket, 2000 p ).It is in this way that the two genres differ. One is almost entirely obsessed with authenticity being proved through connection to culture and the other proved by a disowning of capitalism and

Ideology might be characterized as the structure of qualities informing the writing. This structure introduces various leveled connections between sets of oppositional terms, for example, genuine versus false and good vs evil. These inclinations might be expressed in the content, background color, dialogue or visual graphics. The reader can get connected with the novel in many ways. It is dependably the reader who sorts out the philosophy of the current fiction, yet important decisions constantly rise up out of an association between three components: reader, setting, content, text and visual graphics.

How might Porter, Rose, and, Swales think about an individual’s identity within a larger community, when entering new writing contexts, who has authority in a discourse community, and, how might negotiation with authority affect an outsider? When we write an individual piece before we are aware of discourse communities, we as writers have no rules because we are the writers and readers of our own works. However, once we as individuals communicate within a community we share concepts that we understand while learning what a communities’ limitations and rules are. Rose introduces the concepts of identity and authority with individual limitations that we develop over the course of our writing careers explained in Ridged Rules, Inflexible Plans, and the stifling of language: A Writer's Block. Rose talks in grave detail on how we as writers have problems that inhibit us that are habitual to our writing styles.

There is so many authors out in the world, so many authors who write differently and use their own form of tone, mood, imagery, and many more. They create amazing scenarios and stories, worlds that many people can only hope to create. Writers write with all their beings and cannot help but put their beliefs, feelings or emotions in their writing, is what makes the stories so strong and powerful and allow the story to resonate with their intended audience. Such as these two passages written by two different authors about the same thing.

I have selected for discussion three central claims from Love's Knowledge, Nussbaum's essays on philosophy and literature. The first claim pertains to the relation of writing style to content. (3) On this topic Nussbaum suggests that writing style is not neutral; the form of writing influences the content conveyed; certain aspects of life cannot be conveyed adequately in argumentative writing; and literary artists can "state...truths" about human life which escape philosophical prose. (4)

Authors use various styles of writing to appeal to different types of audiences. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair and “The Most Dangerous Job” by Eric Schlosser both utilize ethos, pathos, and logos writing styles to convince the audience of their ideals. An author uses ethos in writing to show his/her credentials and explain why he/she is credible. Pathos appeals to an audience’s emotions and makes the audience feel sympathy or pity. The author draws feelings out of the audience and compels the audience to feel what the author wishes them to feel. Logos uses facts, statistics, historical and literal analogies, and quotes from authorities on a subject to convince the audience with logic or reason. Upton Sinclair and Eric Schlosser have the goal of exposing the corruption in the meatpacking industry, but the authors develop their arguments through similar and contrasting approaches.

In conclusion, Tell It Slant is a great resource for students when they are developing new technques in their writing.Furthermore, after examine this edition I felt that by adding these additional pieces students we will be well prepared to write any form of literature. In fact, I sternly believe these pieces will encourage students to find a voice in their writing. In addition, this edition also offers the differnt types of writing and how one should incorporate their ideas with creativity. Subsequently, the literature discussed above will not only add a wider variety for students to study, but it will also encourage them to make the piece their own by adding different components like these authors have.
